they know no shame.

i knew it was slowly fading away.
but i thought it would get brighter.
now, apparently as i have just learned, it's gone.

maybe it's just how i feel now.
but if you ask me at this very moment...
it was all for nothing.
you know that feeling that when you've done something for the better but someone else sees it as something beneath scuM?

i hope my remaining time here in Adelaide will be able to cheer me up.
i know it has for the past couple of weeks.
:D
so, yay! :D

smile, me.
SMILE!

even better.

it's not like i'm gonna sit around sulking.

i went to my very first raking trip :D
and it will teach me to buy rubber water shoes for the next one since i was the very first person to get snapped by a crab!
so, raking for crabs is when we go knee deep into the water and scoop the crabs up with specially made rakes.
we had to walk a good long way to the water since the beach is the kind of beach meant for raking.. the water is just really shallow even during high tide.
at first i just didn't understand on how well they were able to see the crabs!
but in the end i was such a pro...
haha but the only reason i was so concentrated was because i was afraid of getting snapped again.
the friggin crab that snapped me was hiding in the sand, on the trail that we were on!
so of course i did not see it!
but it was all good in the end.. cos we ended up with AT THE VERY LEAST 150 crabs.
which we later cooked that night for dinner...
oven baked with cheese, fried, and chilli!

i also went on my first fishing trip with the guys.
it was just a spur of the moment decision...
i caught my first fish!! haha... bestnye! ;p

but all in all,
i can't seem to stop having fun around them.
i think i'm in good hands for the next 2 weeks :D

of great friends and road trips

so as posted previously,
i went on a road trip with a bunch of friends~
we headed to Wallaroo for an overnight trip...
us girls got the most "modern" cabin? PHEW!
did some fishing, crabbing, and squidding...
the squidding was a little depressing since the people doing the same thing standing a few feet away from us were showered with squids after practically every second!
and us... well... let's just say.. i helped catch one squid! yay!

i had a lot of fun.
that night the moon was HUGE!
couldn't catch it in picture.. but lawa gile!
i was becoming really sleepy trying to catch a squid...
so laila and i headed back to the cabins for some sleep :D

the next day was just as much fun...
as we headed to Moonta Bay for the clear waters!
did some fishing and squidding.
and some photo sessions on the beach!
the massive amount of fish, crabs, and squids we caught were cooked for dinner at Kirby later that night :D

next day we headed for some fruit picking!
the strawberries were the best i've seen em!
and the first time i went cherry picking!
the view was magnifique!

all in all,
i had so much fun...
possibly the best road trip so far~
and i couldn't have done it without these group of wonderful friends.
can't wait for the next road trip with them!~

the rush~

woOhoo!!
i've been busy the past few days with fun-filled activities!
only yesterday did i realize my results are finally in!
twas a good thing that my course mate happened to buzz me asking how i did..
i've been checking before i got busy.. but nothing was there!

anywhoooo~
I FRICKIN PASSED!
am a little disappointed with one of my subjects,
but nevertheless, i am thankful!
my average, the way i count it lah, was at first incorrect.
i will have to remind myself to not use the Omnia's calculator anymore cos it gives me incorrect calculations!
but after calculating it again, it's good :D
i'm hoping to do better in masters next year :D

so yes, i am finally a graduate!
wooT wooT!

i am only leaving you with this picture of my cutie pies!
next post will consist of a bunch of pictures from my past few days of awesome trips with a bunch of really great friends.
once i get the photos compiled lah

i need the rush~

*sigh*
my room is finally a little more spacious.
just did another round of laundry so i'll have some clean clothes to take for our trip coming up.
although, a few more rounds of laundry might, all in all, allow me to organize my room a little better.
have just put up the extra wardrobe, so come see all our clothes on show. hahaha.

the new house is doing wonders for me.
i don't have to walk all the way to the back of the village and all the way on the 4th floor to get to my room.
the living and dining might need a little sprucing up, but of course that will all be done next year.
can't wait to go find some new stuff at the Penang market :D
maybe a little sight seeing here and there cos i didn't really spend as much time as i would have last time i went.

i can't wait for the clear, blue ocean...
can't wait for everything once i get back to malaysia ;p

and one i'm most excited about is the d90! :D
